In September 2014, VICENews documented the birth of the so-called Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. When students organized a weeklong strike to protest China’s handling of the local election process, the government responded with tear gas. Thousands of Hong Kong residents took to the city’s streets in solidarity with the students and the protesters occupied several major roads for weeks on end.
Nearly two months into the occupation, the demands and resolve of the protesters remained unchanged. They started to become fatigued and divided against each other, however, and public support for their cause began to decline. The movement was under immense pressure to either escalate their action, or to retreat and give back the streets.
When VICE News returned to Hong Kong near the end of 2014 to check in on the protesters, we witnessed the final days of the Umbrella Movement’s pro-democracy demonstrations.

On September 22, the Hong Kong Federation of Students mobilized up to 10,000 students to boycott class with hundreds of teachers voluntarily joining the strike and lecturing at the rally.
The protesters voiced strong discontent with Beijing’s late August decree that all future candidates for position of chief executive be screened and approved by a pro-Beijing nominating committee.
On September 26, the 5th day of the strike, Hong Kong’s Chief ExecutiveCY Leung remained firm in refusing to negotiate with the students. Four thousand students and citizens then surrounded the Government House.
At midnight, led by 17-year-old student leader Joshua Wong, the protesters charged the government headquarters. The clash ended with 61 protesters arrested by police, who fended off the crowds with pepper spray.
By September 27, the crowd had swelled to 50,000 people who remained outside government headquarters, demanding that arrested students be released.
On September 28, 60,000 protesters took to the streets. The government quickly condemned the movement as illegal and 7000 riot police were dispatched to attempt and disperse the protests, firing 78 tear gas canisters into the unarmed crowds.
In the early morning hours of September 29, the “Occupy Central” movement had extended its operations into Admiralty, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Mongkok, as 100,000 citizens came out to condemn the violent police response to peaceful protesters.
After umbrellas were used to fend off tear gas from riot police the foreign media officially dubbed the uprising, the ‘Umbrella Revolution.’
On the night of September 30 heavy downpours put the umbrellas to good use as the number of protesters rose to more than 100,000, forming what they named a “DemocracyPlaza” in the districts of Admiralty, Mongkok and Causeway Bay.
Despite the swelling crowds, Chief Executive CY Leung made it clear he had no intention of heeding the people’s call for him to resign.
On October 2, the Hong Kong Federation of Students called on citizens to occupy government buildings, only then did the authorities finally agree to talks about policy reform.
On October 3, triad gangsters attacked pro-democracy protesters in Mongkok, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui. The Federation of Students denounced the government for standing by idly while thugs beat peaceful protesters and called on its members fight to the end.

If you wanna have a say
Say it out loud it's okay
Here and now before it is too late
If you wanna have a voice
Voice out now you have a choice
With the freedom you can still enjoy
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Violent words from megaphones
Tryin' to hurt me but I'll be alright
Smoke gets in my eyes I cry
Body fades but spirit never dies
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
Fight now
You may not agree with me
But the fact we speak freely
Is the very reason I am here
Hands up for a peaceful war
They can kill but they can't kill us all
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
I won't give up without a fight
Aha...Stand my ground and hold on tight

The movement consists of individuals numbering in the tens of thousands who participated in the protests that began on 28 September 2014, although Scholarism, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Occupy Central with Love and Peace are groups principally driving the demands for the rescission of the NPCSC decision. Since the start of the 2014 protests, movement activists have complained of harassment from political opponents "alarmingly similar to the way mainland Chinese activists and their families have long been targeted".

Names

The term 'Occupy Central' (佔中) is commonly used to describe the occupy campaign in Hong Kong, named after a group that has advocated a civil disobedience protest since 2013. The name 'Umbrella Revolution' was coined by Adam Cotton on Twitter on 26 September, in reference to the umbrellas used for defence against tear gas, and quickly gained widespread acceptance. The name was later rejected by some prominent members and supporters of the Occupy Central campaign who were not comfortable with the supposed violent connotations of the name, and concerned as to how it would be perceived by Chinese authorities. They emphasised that the movement was not a colour revolution but rather a demand for free and fair elections, and proposed the name 'Umbrella Movement' as an alternative.

Umbrella

An umbrella or parasol is a folding canopy supported by wooden or metal ribs, which is mounted on a wooden, metal or plastic pole. It is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight. The word "umbrella" typically refers to a device used for protection from rain. The word parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun. Often the difference is the material used for the canopy; some parasols are not waterproof. Umbrella canopies may be made of fabric or flexible plastic.

Umbrellas and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices sized for personal use. The largest hand-portable umbrellas are golf umbrellas. Umbrellas can be divided into two categories: fully collapsible umbrellas, in which the metal pole supporting the canopy retracts, making the umbrella small enough to fit in a handbag, and non-collapsible umbrellas in which the support pole cannot retract; only the canopy can be collapsed. Another distinction can be made between manually operated umbrellas and spring-loaded automatic umbrellas which spring open at the press of a button.

A song written for protesters of the "umbrella revolution" in Hong Kong. This video was created and subtitled for both the Chinese and English-speaking audiences. Some of the pictures are from online sources but most were taken by myself. I'm hoping to spread the word and offer my own visual account of the protests for democracy and universal suffrage in Hong Kong that began on September 27, 2014. I apologise if the translation is not perfect, as this was done within a day.

靜坐人海 你我非不怕

更怕未表白內心呼喊
站在前方 勇氣驅不散
卻信越怕命運更黯淡
但是誰想 要看穿荒誕
卻會在催淚下睜開眼
一起舉傘 一起的撐
一起儘管不安卻不孤單 對嗎
一起舉傘 舉起手撐
一起為應得的放膽爭取 怕嗎
任暴雨下 志向未倒下
雨傘是一朵朵的花
不枯也不散
為著明天 要記得今晚
你我用鎮定面對憂患
若是人生 錯過這一晚
怕再沒機會任意呼喊

In 1997, the longtime British colony of Hong Kong was handed over to China with the understanding that it would retain relative autonomy under the concept of "one country, two systems." But last month, as part of the so-called Umbrella Revolution, Hong Kongers began vocally demanding Beijing stay out of their political affairs and grant the democracy they say they were promised with the handover.
VICE News traveled to Hong Kong and embedded with the students leading the pro-democracy movement. As protestors marched through and occupied city parks and streets, police fired tear gas and became physically violent. Hong Kong, long a reliably stable world financial center, was being rocked by unrest.

In September 2014, VICENews documented the birth of the so-called Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. When students organized a weeklong strike to protest China’s handling of the local election process, the government responded with tear gas. Thousands of Hong Kong residents took to the city’s streets in solidarity with the students and the protesters occupied several major roads for weeks on end.
Nearly two months into the occupation, the demands and resolve of the protesters remained unchanged. They started to become fatigued and divided against each other, however, and public support for their cause began to decline. The movement was under immense pressure to either escalate their action, or to retreat and give back the streets.
When VICE News returned to Hong Kong near the end of 2014 to check in on the protesters, we witnessed the final days of the Umbrella Movement’s pro-democracy demonstrations.

On September 22, the Hong Kong Federation of Students mobilized up to 10,000 students to boycott class with hundreds of teachers voluntarily joining the strike and lecturing at the rally.
The protesters voiced strong discontent with Beijing’s late August decree that all future candidates for position of chief executive be screened and approved by a pro-Beijing nominating committee.
On September 26, the 5th day of the strike, Hong Kong’s Chief ExecutiveCY Leung remained firm in refusing to negotiate with the students. Four thousand students and citizens then surrounded the Government House.
At midnight, led by 17-year-old student leader Joshua Wong, the protesters charged the government headquarters. The clash ended with 61 protesters arrested by police, who fended off the crowds with pepper spray.
By September 27, the crowd had swelled to 50,000 people who remained outside government headquarters, demanding that arrested students be released.
On September 28, 60,000 protesters took to the streets. The government quickly condemned the movement as illegal and 7000 riot police were dispatched to attempt and disperse the protests, firing 78 tear gas canisters into the unarmed crowds.
In the early morning hours of September 29, the “Occupy Central” movement had extended its operations into Admiralty, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Mongkok, as 100,000 citizens came out to condemn the violent police response to peaceful protesters.
After umbrellas were used to fend off tear gas from riot police the foreign media officially dubbed the uprising, the ‘Umbrella Revolution.’
On the night of September 30 heavy downpours put the umbrellas to good use as the number of protesters rose to more than 100,000, forming what they named a “DemocracyPlaza” in the districts of Admiralty, Mongkok and Causeway Bay.
Despite the swelling crowds, Chief Executive CY Leung made it clear he had no intention of heeding the people’s call for him to resign.
On October 2, the Hong Kong Federation of Students called on citizens to occupy government buildings, only then did the authorities finally agree to talks about policy reform.
On October 3, triad gangsters attacked pro-democracy protesters in Mongkok, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui. The Federation of Students denounced the government for standing by idly while thugs beat peaceful protesters and called on its members fight to the end.

No Turning Back (Keep Fighting) - a tribute to Hong Kong Umbrella Movement

No Turning Back - Keep FightingVersion
Written by Josh aka 天旋
Vocal and guitar by Wallis Cho aka 曹震豪
If you wanna have a say
Say it out loud it's okay
Here and now before it is too late
If you wanna have a voice
Voice out now you have a choice
With the freedom you can still enjoy
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Violent words from megaphones
Tryin' to hurt me but I'll be alright
Smoke gets in my eyes I cry
Body fades but spirit never dies
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
Fight now
You may not agree with me
But the fact we speak freely
Is the very reason I am here
Hands up for a peaceful war
They can kill but they can't kill us all
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
I won't give up without a fight
Aha...Stand my ground and hold on tight
Aha...
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Aha...
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
Fight now

People have come from around the world to Hong Kong for one purpose - protect the students of Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement. Some have even quit their jobs to travel half way around the world to do it. What is it about these kids that have that have inspired such devotion? Hear from some at the Mong Kok protest site what inspires them. It's not just democracy and universal suffrage.

A song written for protesters of the "umbrella revolution" in Hong Kong. This video was created and subtitled for both the Chinese and English-speaking audiences. Some of the pictures are from online sources but most were taken by myself. I'm hoping to spread the word and offer my own visual account of the protests for democracy and universal suffrage in Hong Kong that began on September 27, 2014. I apologise if the translation is not perfect, as this was done within a day.

Riots, Unrest, and the Umbrella Movement: Hong Kong Rising

In 1997, the longtime British colony of Hong Kong was handed over to China with the understanding that it would retain relative autonomy under the concept of "one country, two systems." But last month, as part of the so-called Umbrella Revolution, Hong Kongers began vocally demanding Beijing stay out of their political affairs and grant the democracy they say they were promised with the handover.
VICE News traveled to Hong Kong and embedded with the students leading the pro-democracy movement. As protestors marched through and occupied city parks and streets, police fired tear gas and became physically violent.

The End of the Umbrella Revolution: Hong Kong Silenced

In September 2014, VICENews documented the birth of the so-called Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. When students organized a weeklong strike to protest China’s handling of the local election process, the government responded with tear gas. Thousands of Hong Kong residents took to the city’s streets in solidarity with the students and the protesters occupied several major roads for weeks on end.
Nearly two months into the occupation, the demands and resolve of the protesters remained unchanged. They started to become fatigued and divided against each other, however, and public support for their cause began to decline. The movement was under immense pressure to either escalate their action, or to retreat and give back the streets.

As happened with Occupy movements in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere, private injunctions are being used as a legal weapon against Hong Kong’s protests, and – as many predicted – it’s likely their enforcement will come very shortly now that the APEC meeting in Beijing has ended. In the meantime, two new organisations have sprung up in Hong Kong to examine the causes of the political conflicts here, and – they say – to suggest ways forward.

重奪旺角 [Regain Mong Kok] — Umbrella Movement

The Hong KongPolice started clearing Mong Kok Occupy site yesterday morning (Oct 17, 2014). There were clashes between the police and the protesters during the day, some were very serious. At night, thousands of protesters gathered in Mong Kok and they successfully regained part of Nathan Road and Argyle Street. The police estimated that there were 9,000 protesters in Mong Kok last night. In this footage, you can see the protesters peacefully allowed riot police to leave one of the police cordon lines on Nathan Road (near the BankCenter). No looting was occurred and no major damage to public property.

The Pulse：Umbrella Movement Through the Eyes of Students

As everyone knows, tumultuous events have been going on while we've been on our break, much of this has been happening here on Hong Kong’s streets – not least at the centre of the protests where I'm standing in Admiralty. Now in their second month these protests were triggered by the restrictive framework laid down by the National People’s CongressStanding Committee for Hong Kong’s future political development. What followed has been nothing less than history making. This week and next, The Pulse looks back on the development of the Umbrella Movement through the eyes of several individuals taking part. This week we are focusing on the students.

In 1997, the longtime British colony of Hong Kong was handed over to China with the understanding that it would retain relative autonomy under the concept of "one country, two systems." But last month, as part of the so-called Umbrella Revolution, Hong Kongers began vocally demanding Beijing stay out of their political affairs and grant the democracy they say they were promised with the handover.
VICE News traveled to Hong Kong and embedded with the students leading the pro-democracy movement. As protestors marched through and occupied city parks and streets, police fired tear gas and became physically violent. Hong Kong, long a reliably stable world financial center, was being rocked by unrest.

In September 2014, VICENews documented the birth of the so-called Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. When students organized a weeklong strike to protest China’s handling of the local election process, the government responded with tear gas. Thousands of Hong Kong residents took to the city’s streets in solidarity with the students and the protesters occupied several major roads for weeks on end.
Nearly two months into the occupation, the demands and resolve of the protesters remained unchanged. They started to become fatigued and divided against each other, however, and public support for their cause began to decline. The movement was under immense pressure to either escalate their action, or to retreat and give back the streets.
When VICE News returned to Hong Kong near the end of 2014 to check in on the protesters, we witnessed the final days of the Umbrella Movement’s pro-democracy demonstrations.

Umbrella Movement development: political think tanks and injunctions, former Tiananmen student leader Zhou Fengsuo on Umbrella Movement
As happened with Occupy movements in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere, private injunctions are being used as a legal weapon against Hong Kong’s protests, and – as many predicted – it’s likely their enforcement will come very shortly now that the APEC meeting in Beijing has ended. In the meantime, two new organisations have sprung up in Hong Kong to examine the causes of the political conflicts here, and – they say – to suggest ways forward. With us in the studio to comment on the latest development are China commentator Willy Lam and Law ProfessorDevaSurya from City University. It’s now seven weeks since the Umbrella Movement got under way. As we reported in last week’s show, there’s been interest from all over the world in what’s happening here. Among those who turned up to take a look for themselves is a former mainland student leader for whom the sight of tents in a major thoroughfare is all too familiar. He’s Zhou Fengsou.

We are continuing our coverage of what is arguably Hong Kong's biggest protest movement since the 1960’s. When totalitarian governments face unrest: they tend to claim that it does not stem from local dissatisfaction but from foreign interference. Well, that claim has been made by some officials both in Hong Kong and in Beijing about the Umbrella Movement, although any actual evidence of this has yet to be provided. But it is not only local Hong Kong Chinese who have a stake and an interest in how democracy develops here. In part two we’ll be talking to overseas news media professionals who have been in town to report on the movement. But first, over the past month we have been following international academics and students, who were both observing and taking part in the events on the streets.

Hong Kong protest 2014: Umbrella Revolution timeline

On September 22, the Hong Kong Federation of Students mobilized up to 10,000 students to boycott class with hundreds of teachers voluntarily joining the strike and lecturing at the rally.
The protesters voiced strong discontent with Beijing’s late August decree that all future candidates for position of chief executive be screened and approved by a pro-Beijing nominating committee.
On September 26, the 5th day of the strike, Hong Kong’s Chief ExecutiveCY Leung remained firm in refusing to negotiate with the students. Four thousand students and citizens then surrounded the Government House.
At midnight, led by 17-year-old student leader Joshua Wong, the protesters charged the government headquarters. The clash ended with 61 protesters arrested by police, who fended off the crowds with pepper spray.
By September 27, the crowd had swelled to 50,000 people who remained outside government headquarters, demanding that arrested students be released.
On September 28, 60,000 protesters took to the streets. The government quickly condemned the movement as illegal and 7000 riot police were dispatched to attempt and disperse the protests, firing 78 tear gas canisters into the unarmed crowds.
In the early morning hours of September 29, the “Occupy Central” movement had extended its operations into Admiralty, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Mongkok, as 100,000 citizens came out to condemn the violent police response to peaceful protesters.
After umbrellas were used to fend off tear gas from riot police the foreign media officially dubbed the uprising, the ‘Umbrella Revolution.’
On the night of September 30 heavy downpours put the umbrellas to good use as the number of protesters rose to more than 100,000, forming what they named a “DemocracyPlaza” in the districts of Admiralty, Mongkok and Causeway Bay.
Despite the swelling crowds, Chief Executive CY Leung made it clear he had no intention of heeding the people’s call for him to resign.
On October 2, the Hong Kong Federation of Students called on citizens to occupy government buildings, only then did the authorities finally agree to talks about policy reform.
On October 3, triad gangsters attacked pro-democracy protesters in Mongkok, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui. The Federation of Students denounced the government for standing by idly while thugs beat peaceful protesters and called on its members fight to the end.

If you wanna have a say
Say it out loud it's okay
Here and now before it is too late
If you wanna have a voice
Voice out now you have a choice
With the freedom you can still enjoy
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Violent words from megaphones
Tryin' to hurt me but I'll be alright
Smoke gets in my eyes I cry
Body fades but spirit never dies
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
Fight now
You may not agree with me
But the fact we speak freely
Is the very reason I am here
Hands up for a peaceful war
They can kill but they can't kill us all
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
I won't give up without a fight
Aha...Stand my ground and hold on tight
Aha...
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow
Let's raise our flag, this is it right now
No turning back, we should keep fighting
No cutting slack, at least die trying
No turning back, we will win somehow

The Pulse：Umbrella Movement Through the Eyes of Foreigners

We are continuing our coverage of what is arguably Hong Kong's biggest protest movement since the 1960’s. When totalitarian governments face unrest: they tend to claim that it does not stem from local dissatisfaction but from foreign interference. Well, that claim has been made by some officials both in Hong Kong and in Beijing about the Umbrella Movement, although any actual evidence of this has yet to be provided. But it is not only local Hong Kong Chinese who have a stake and an interest in how democracy develops here. In part two we’ll be talking to overseas news media professionals who have been in town to report on the movement. But first, over the past month we have been following international academics and students, who were both observing and taking part in the events on the streets.
